Yeatzee's macro's: First water droplet attempt! · 10:27 PM

more will be posted as the night goes on and I finish editing the other 153

I was unable to achieve an umbrella shot however

Fantastic! I'd crop a bit off the bottom, though.

and another, this time much different and more abstract....

Classic!
#1 is excellent, Tanner!
Second one would be great if it had a few drops erupting from the centre, but there's so much texture there!
Thanks for sharing.

I love the motion of the water in the first one.

These are great, I particularly like the last one.

**Tamia** · 11-13-2010, 06:39 AM

I like the yellow-pastel one, Tanner.

Great shots. I've been thinking about trying this for a long time, but not sure if I can put together a decent setup. I also don't have much ambient light, so I'd have trouble getting decent shutter speed. These are terrific. I guess #1 is my favorite, although the yellow is really close...Sometimes your work with macros makes me want to delete all of mine...I rarely get anything as clear and sharp as you always do.

donallison13 · 11-13-2010, 08:52 AM

Very nice. Well done for a first attempt I'd say.

Thanks Tamia! I'll post a crop to show the refraction sharpness on that one.

Trust me, as long as you have a flash this is something anyone is capable of doing. I took these at night, when I was extremely bored = no ambient light.

Thanks for the compliment, I really do try hard to get as you said, clear and sharp results, and am very persistent until I achieve them. I can't remember any of your macro's but im sure they are fine

It just takes a lot of practice, persistence, and technique.
